Account removal

What happens after you leave JCU?

Sometime before leaving JCU you should consider moving your Email, research work, etc. to a place that you will be able to use longer-term. JCU extends accounts beyond your employment/candidature expiration, but this extension isn't permanent. Any data that you have on HPRC facilities will survive alot longer (up to 7 years, usually) as the account removal process is done manually at present. You can of course manually copy your data to whatever storage resources you have access to - but you should think about the following:

The amount of HPC disk space you are using.

The internet bandwidth available to you (how long the transfer will take).

The media you are transferring data to (you might need thousands of CDs/DVDs).

The JCU HPC unit uses tapes for long-term storage research data - an FTP session will probably timeout before larger files are available for transfer. Talk to HPRC staff before starting any bulk file transfers.
